I think that my critique went very well. I learned that placing a warming photo filter over the entire piece was a good choice and made the image very cohesive. Some of the photos of myself the lighting was a little off and that is probably the thing that annoyed the class the most. If i could change anything I would take photos of myself in a more natural light. I also might play with the perspective of the background image a little more, to make the space seem more real. I am happy that the class got a "funky" feel from my piece because I did aim for that when i changed the colors of buildings and contrasted the purple sky to the orange in the warming filter. Overall I am happy with the things the class had to say about my image. I am really excited about how my piece turned out!

It is pretty awesome to realize that even though these artists weren't depicting the actual battle field, they were doing it through landscapes and symbolism. The volcano had several meanings in each piece and even matched up with an old poem from those times.

I watched two different tutorial one on how to use the magnetic lasso tool to select certain parts of an image and I also watched a tutorial on how to flatten an image so it all becomes on layer and you can edit as a whole.
